Debian Etch ISO images are available for download, completely free, via the internet, just like those Fedora ISO's you are downloading.
I highly recommend you get the single Debian NetInstall ISO. Since you are using a Dial-Up connection, this will be the fastest way to install Debian. On a side note, what kinds of problems were you running into when installing other distros? I had problems installing most distros on a computer I built that was using a motherboard with a VIA C3 processor, which is missing the "CMOV" instruction that some 686 binaries are compiled with.
